Ok, so I bought a tapestry online and it came today and the thing is freaking huge. 80 x 100 it says. 80 x 100 looks a lot bigger than it sounds. Now, I don't want to go driving nails through it and I get the feeling tape's kind of a dumb idea, so I'm going to ask all of you guitarists about your input on suspending a tapestry on the wall.

Dear god no. Inches. I'm not rich enough to afford a house so presigious that it even has an 80 x 100 foot wall... that's bigger than a movie theater screen. That's simply.... massive.

*whew* alright thats ok then. um i had to ask my parents about this one. and i got the following replies:

you just gotta nail it up
you can put wire in the corners and hang it up

thats about it. im thinking the only way to go is nailing it. the nails wont be very obvious and if you take it down, the nail holes should eventually close back up.

Yea, I'd rock out some nails too. You got a stud finder?

No I don't have a stud finder, but I did find out that target actually has tapestry rods. Go figure. That and I also discovered that my entire apartment has only one wall big enough to support the damn thing. I'm getting the feeling that my best bet is going to be to just keep it around until I move into a new place and hang it up there. Maybe when I'm buying a house or something.
